In every matter and at every moment we are most in need of Almighty Allah's
GUIDANCE AND STEADFASTNESS ON FAITH guidance. Shaytaan has promised to make every effort to misguide us yet we should
never despair of Almighty Allah's guidance. His guidance is a great blessing.
SubhaanAllah.
(DU'AA 1)
We should always ask Almighty Allah to guide us to the 'straight path' lest we lose
focus because of our own weakness and/or shaytaan's whispers. Guidance to and
steadfastness on the straight path leads to eternal salvation for the believer.

Belief in Allah Ta'aala and worshipping Him alone is the foundation of Islam. We need
to also believe in His beautiful attributes, that He alone is worthy of worship, He
alone do we seek assistance from, to Him we supplicate for our needs and from Him
alone do seek guidance to the straight path. J

'Ihdinas siraatal mustaqeem Imploring Almighty Allah to keep us steadfast on faith and in following the path of the |
righteous is an important daily supplication. We should also ask Him to keep us aloof
from the path of those who have earned His anger and from those who have strayed.

'Guide us (Oh Allah) to the straight path' Despite it's brevity, Surah Al-Faatihah (The Opening Surah of the Qur'an Kareem) has
encompassed the meanings of the entire Qur'an Kareem and this short yet powerful
Surah is a cure for our physical and spiritual maladies. Recited in every raka’at of our
five daily salaah, the first half of Surah Al-Faatihah contains the praise and attributes |
of Allah Ta'aala whilst the second half contains a supplication for the benefit of our
own sou Is. '

Knowing it's meaning and it's message is highly encouraged and we should make
effort to perfect it's Arabic recitation as well.

 Pearls of Supplication

Peace and contentment in this world is not achieved by the accumulation of wealth
or material possessions, status or fame, qualification levels or job positions.
GOODNESS IN BOTH WORLDS
Practising good deeds for our Creator, consistent prayer, a grateful and conscious
heart and a tongue always busy in His remembrance is a means of attaining 'Hasanah'
(DU'AA 2) in this world.

'Hasanah’ includes all the inner and outer beauties and virtues.

'Hasanah* pertaining to worldly affairs includes good health, blessings in wealth, a

praiseworthy character, beneficial knowledge, correct beliefs, respect and dignity,
guidance on the straight path and sincerity in all actions. .

'Hasanah' regarding the hereafter includes an easy reckoning, being saved from the,
punishment of jahannam, attaining Jannah and the pleasure of Almighty Allah and
ultimately the privilege of seeing Allah Ta'aala. jfl

Seek from Almighty Allah the strength, desire and pleasure to engage in His worship
and ask Almighty Allah to accept every good deed. Remember to always ask Allah for
"Rabbana aatina fid dunyaa hasanah, wa fil aakhirati the best in both the worlds. When asking for Jannah, ask for Al-Firdaus- The highest
hasanah, waqina athabun naar" level in Paradise. ;

OKe/lection
There are many paths in life. We need to determine our direction as not all lead to the
final destination.
STEADFASTNESS ON FAITH
Belief in The Oneness of Almighty Allah and the fundamentals of our true faith should
be our foundation. Focus on the destination and ignore the distractions.
(DU'AA 3)
Man can never be satisfied with his spiritual state and needs to constantly make an
effort to better himself and gain a better and stronger link with His Creator. It is highly
important to always seek Almighty Allah's guidance and help for steadfastness on
faith since shaytaan has pledged to make great efforts in misleading the believers.
Guidance is from Almighty Allah alone, the Creator and controller of hearts. Do not
ever lose hope in His guidance, mercy, forgiveness and help. Ji

We should never ever under-estimate the Power of Du'aa. Allah lovingly listens and
answers every Du'aa of the one whp asks of Him with firm faith in His Oneness, Power
and Wisdom. We need to learn to ask of Him in every condition and for every need.
"Rabbana laa thuzigh quloobana ba'da ith haday Through favourable and challenging situations always remember to speak to and
seek from Allah Ta’ala. Such an honour given to us by Our Rabb-SubhaanAllah. He is

Allah has created this world for our benefit and a means that we may prepare for our
meeting with Him. While travelling this earthly journey we may err, either by the
whispers of shaytaan or our own weakness. Seeking forgiveness from Allah for
intentional, unintentional, minor and major sins is necessary.

Gratitude is a sign of common sense and honourable nature. In the Qur'aan, Almighty
Allah mentions the Prophets as 'thankful1 and 'grateful* servants.

PRAISING ALLAH AND EXPRESSING GRATITUDE Many nations of the past were punished or destroyed due to their ingratitude,
arrogance and pride. A grateful nature brings peace and enjoyment in life and makes
us humble and thankful for every blessing.
(DU'AA 22)
Accepting the decree of Almighty Allah, being thankful to Him for all His favours,
showing appreciation to others for their help, advice and time are admirable
qualities. Human beings tend not to appreciate the good they receive and always
crave for more. Many expect thanks when they assist others but do not offer thanksi
when they are assisted.. I

When Prophet Muhammad was asked why He devoted so much time to prayer
and dedication to Allah Ta'aala. He replied :" Should I not be a grateful servant of my.■
Lord?" This should be a strong encouragement to be a thankful, humble and grateful i
servant of Allah Ta'aala.
Alhumdulillaahillathi ath-haba annal hazan, inna Suhaib g narrates that Rasulullah said :' It is remarkable that everything turns
K Rabbanaa laghafooroon Shakoor" out well for a believer. If happiness befalls him he is thankful and it turns out well for
him and if misfortune befalls him he shows endurance and it turns out well for him.'

PRAISING ALLAH
Every moment in life-both the happy and sad ones-should be reminders to us of our
(DU'AA 25)
dependency on Allah Ta'aala. It is only through His will that we are believers in His
Oneness and that is the greatest blessing indeed.

9^1 oj 0^1 Almighty Allah is Al-Aleem (The All-Knowing). He knows the thoughts of our mind
and the secrets of our hearts. He knows our every wish and desire yet He so patiently
and lovingly listens to us when we ask of Him. He is so Generous and Gracious that He
will never let our du'aa pass by unanswered. Either He grants us our du'aa
immediately as we have asked or He grants it to us a little while later or He does not
grant us what we asked for but replaces it with something even better.

Praising Allah Ta'aala at the commencement of and during Du'aa is highly

recommended.

Let us call our Rabb by His most beautiful names seeking from Him our needs of this
world and the next, ask for His forgiveness, blessings, guidance, love and pleasure,
protection from the punishment of the grave and the fire of Jahannum and entrance
into Jannatul-Firdaus through His Grace and Mercy.
"Falillahil Hamdu Rabbis Samaawaati wa Rabbil Ardi A

Rabi'ah ibn Amir narrates : I heard Rasulullah saying: ' Persist in your du'aa
Rabbil Aalameen. Wa lahul Kibriyaaoo fis with' Yaa zal Jalaali wal Ikraam' ( O The Owner Of Majesty and Splendour!)

Samaawaati wal ardi. wa huwal Azeezul Hakeem."

"So All the Praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the Heavens and the
earth, and the Lord of all that exists. And His Alone is the Majesty in the
heavens and the earth and He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."

COMPLETE PROTECTION
(DU'AA 30)
The Qur'an Kareem concludes with two powerful and integral chapters with deep
meanings and many life lessons and reminders.

The opening and closing chapters of the Qur'an Kareem remind us of our dependence
on Almighty Allah alone and to seek His protection from the evils He has created. He
has made some individuals serve as tests for others and this is a painful truth in
today's ever-competitive times. The evil eye is a reality and has become an
even-more and easily contagious spiritual malady these days. Forgetting that with
